As some of you, it's flooding down in Texas, again.
When I left work Thursday evening the rain was coming down at a pretty good clip. I live 8 miles from the plant and the drive is normally around 10 minutes. Thursday it took me 2 hours and 13 minutes to make it home. There are a couple areas around here that NOAA (The Weather Service) is saying they received half of their yearly rainfall in 24 hours. The neighbor across the street from me had over 9 inches of rain in 2 hours, at 9 inches his rain gauge started overflowing and it rained at that rate for another 2 hours. We are unsure how much rain we really received. This rain was harder than the rains we had during T.S. Allison when we had a little over 20 inches of rain in 24 hours. My house sits just below the crest of a hill so I wasn't to worried about the water rising to flood our house. Run-off has never been a problem for us but then again I haven't see this much run-off since we've lived here. I've got a few photos I will try to post as time allows.
Not our neighborhood but not far away, maybe 6 miles as the crow fly's
